Secondly not only are you failing to see the point of others in this thread you are failing to see the purpose of extreme edition processors. They are meant to be tweaked and OC'ed. Why would you spent that amount of money and then not push it? A complete and utter waste of money. And regardless of whether you have OC'ed before or not you are still failing to see these points.

Finally, a chip that degrades that fast when pushed compared to other models will degrade faster then normal at stock settings as well. I haven't seen anyone specifically complaining about not reaching certain OC's but rather seeing that their chip is degrading so fast. Personally I would want to push my chip to see if it was one that was degrading fast as there is no way I would want to keep such a weak chip after having paid that much for it.

And the posters in this thread are talking about degradation that can been seen immediately, not over time. This IS a problem.
Yes, just as you're failing to see mine! You're Failing to get overclocking and tweaking out of you argument and or off your brain. That's where you're screwing up. I really couldn't care less about tweaking something and I'm only concerned with STOCK! I said weak if you overclock how many times now?

Oh excuse me, you didn't link, you **Quoted** and what you *Quoted** isn't matching what you're saying. You **QUOTED** no one running at stock. Folks running at stock speed aren't have their processors die at an alarming rate and that's my point. What you guys are doing wouldn't change my buying decisions at all=P Again the only legit problem I saw was disabling Hyperthreading causing this to happen, TO SOME folks. Other than that, you've shown NOTHING to back your hypothesis other than to guess at best.

You haven't seen anyone complaining about how high (OC), I haven't seen anyone complaining while running at UNTWEAKED stock speed either. I haven't seen anything here to prove this is the Processor, Motherboard's hardware or BIOS or a combination of some or all of them. I'm NOT saying what it is, I don't know! It might just be some of the processors are bad.
